Flinging Poo

I have been reading quite a few diaries, so I wanted to fling some of my own poo against the wall and see what sticks.  Then I want to do a Rorschach test with the resulting stains.

I know everyone has had their say about those yellow ribbons on the backs of SUVs, but last week it was completely fricken surreal.  Not once, not twice, but three times I ended up behind an SUV with not one, not two, not even THREE, but FOUR, yes FOUR "Support our Troops" ribbons on the back of each of their oversized behemoths.  One also had a God Fish, and the other two sported Flag stickers, for balance I suppose.

Does some poor soldier get a flak jacket for every five stickers purchased?  My goodness, isn't four stickers more like a challenge than a statement of support?  I guess that means they really, really, really, REALLY support the troops (with the implied "Fuck You, you godless elitist liberal scum troop hating gay lovers.")

I started daydreaming about what I would like on the back of my Camry for people to see.  Something that hopefully won't get me shot at, but might make someone think.

My first thought was:

Patriotism doesn't fit on a bumper sticker

I also considered:

What ever happened to the NEW Testament?

And then:

Got Democracy?

I love all the stuff Advisorjim writes and I took the liberty of sending his really interesting analysis on the Estate Tax to my father (the really rabid Republican).  His response:

"Who wrote all that drivel?"

Hrm, notice that he manages to both belittle what is written and question the source all in an economic five words.  My answer:

"A friend of mine.  What is factually wrong with it?"

I waited.  I waited some more.  I cruised through good ole dKos and I did finally get an answer:

"My dad replied: It is so long as to be confusing and a tad bit wordy."

Note that I asked what was factually wrong with it and as far as I can see...nothing.  I think I am going to start sending a dKos entry every time my father sends me some nastygram from the GOP or a e-mail to complain about tittie on television from the supposedly moral majority.  I wonder how fast the unwanted messages will stop.
